The plushest, most ostentatious and dramatic of all the Leovilles in 2000, this wine is already sumptuous, displaying some nuances in its huge nose of vanilla bean, black chocolate, jammy black cherries, cassis, and graphite in a flamboyant style. Opulent, savory, rich, and full-bodied, it is a head-turning, prodigious wine and a complete contrast to the extracted behemoth of Leoville Barton and the backward, classic Leoville Las Cases. The Poyferre’s low acidity, sweet tannin and an already gorgeous mouthfeel make it a wine to drink now as well as over the next 25 or more years.

Absolutely knockout stuff, the 2000 Léoville Poyferré is a sexy, layered, totally irresistible Bordeaux that’s firing on all cylinders today. Sporting a deep ruby/purple color and blockbuster notes of blackcurrants, lead pencil shavings, cedar and tobacco, this concentrated, powerful 2000 has a rounded, opulent texture, sweet tannin, and a huge finish. It’s a quintessential Poyferré and my only regret is I didn’t buy more. It’s going to keep for another two decades.

Pure and focused, with some still-primal blueberry reduction and plum sauce flavors at first, moving to hints of black currant and fig paste. As this moves along, it shows more development, picking up bay, smoldering cigar and warm ganache notes through the finish. Rich and long, and just starting to hit its stride.

Warmth Yields Powerful Classic

The early-starting 2020 season at Poyferré saw warm conditions that required careful canopy management and irrigation control. The estate's varied soil composition, particularly the clay subsoils, proved essential in maintaining freshness during the summer heat. Early morning harvesting and gentle extraction preserved aromatic complexity while capturing the vintage's natural concentration.

Elegance Prevails Through Challenge

At Poyferré, the team faced multiple challenges including spring frost and sustained disease pressure throughout the season. The estate's well-draining gravel soils and proximity to the Gironde proved crucial during periodic rains, while meticulous sorting and careful extraction preserved the wine's classic character. Despite reduced yields, the team's precision viticulture maintained the estate's high standards.
